Along the way, we sample traditional pies, including the famous bougatsa, a crispy phyllo pastry filled with sweet custard or savory cheese — a beloved Greek comfort food. As we walk towards Kotzia Square, we taste high-quality Greek olives and fragrant local honey, learning about their importance in Mediterranean cuisine and Greek history.
